The Slum and the City
The Argentine capital is largely perceived as a middle-class space. Yet in reality, urban poverty and precarious settlements are defining features of the city. Agnese Codebò investigates how slums have produced culture as well as their representation in literature and the visual arts from the 1950s to the present. Looking at government-led urban projects, as well as novels, artworks, films, militant magazines, poems, and music, she tells the story of how villas miseria have mattered culturally and socially as spaces that produce new aesthetics, cultural trends, and social alliances, while offering a vantage point to understand the city and its problems. Slums represent a heterogeneous urban space, and Codebò makes the case for their relevance in Argentine culture, demonstrates the need to rethink spaces of production, and develops a new premise for a decolonial approach to Argentine cultural production.
Modernidade em Desalinho
Rogério desenvolve seu trabalho com grande competência e informação, tanto documental quanto teórica, mais brilho expositivo e analítico, convidando o leitor a pensar sobre sutis nuances de um intelectual e artista de incontáveis faces. Raul Pederneiras foi identificado como um dos principais nomes brasileiros da caricatura e das artes gráficas que lhe são próximas, incluindo os quadrinhos. O rigoroso trabalho de Rogério Souza Silva acompanha exaustivamente o percurso do autor. Ao invés de um nome secundário num campo artístico considerado inferior, o que se vê nestas páginas é um multi-artista, que contribuiu largamente para a modernidade do traço caricatural entre nós. P...

Religious Conflict in Brazil
The story of how Brazilian Catholics and Protestants confronted one of the greatest shocks to the Latin American religious system in its 500-year history This innovative study explores the transition in Brazil from a hegemonically Catholic society to a religiously pluralistic society. With sensitivity and nuance, Erika Helgen shows that the rise of religious pluralism was fraught with conflict and violence, as Catholic bishops, priests, and friars organized intense campaigns against Protestantism. These episodes of religious violence were not isolated outbursts of reactionary rage, but rather formed part of a longer process through which religious groups articulated their vision for Brazil's national future.

Modernidade em Desalinho
Raul Pederneiras foi identificado como um dos principais nomes brasileiros da caricatura e das artes gráficas que lhe são próximas, incluindo os quadrinhos. O rigoroso trabalho de Rogério Souza Silva acompanha exaustivamente o percurso do autor. Ao invés de um nome secundário num campo artístico considerado inferior, o que se vê nestas páginas é um multi-artista, que contribuiu largamente para a modernidade do traço caricatural entre nós. Pederneiras soube destacar-se na imprensa carioca pela ousada síntese do traço, inaugurando uma modernidade (problematizada, “em desalinho”, como o título desta obra salienta tão bem) brasileira no gênero que o diferenciava tanto do teor clássico de antecessores, caso de Angelo Agostini, quanto do viés mais descritivo ou virtuosístico do traço de seus talentosos companheiros de geração. Rogério desenvolve seu trabalho com grande competência e informação, tanto documental quanto teórica, mais brilho expositivo e analítico, convidando o leitor a pensar sobre sutis nuances de um intelectual e artista de incontáveis faces.

Spatial Orders, Social Forms
A fascinating look at modernist urban planning and spatial theories in Brazilian 20th-century art and architecture Exploring the intersections among art, architecture, and urbanism in Brazil from the 1920s through the 1960s, Adrian Anagnost shows how modernity was manifested in locally specific spatial forms linked to Brazil's colonial and imperial past. Discussing the ways artists and architects understood urban planning as a tool to reorganize the world, control human action, and remedy social problems, Anagnost offers a nuanced account of the seeming conflict between modernist aesthetics and a predominately poor and historically disenfranchised urban public, with particular attention to regionalist forms of urban development. Organized as a series of case studies of projects such as Flávio de Carvalho's performative urbanism, the construction of the Ministry of Education and Public Health building, Lina Bo and Pietro Maria Bardi's efforts to modernize Brazilian museums, and Hélio Oiticica's interstitial works, this study is full of groundbreaking insights into the ways that modernist theories of urbanism shaped the art and architecture of 20th-century Brazil.
The Scramble for the Amazon and the Lost Paradise of Euclides da Cunha
A “compelling and elegantly written” history of the fight for the Amazon basin and the work of a brilliant but overlooked Brazilian intellectual (Times Literary Supplement, UK). The fortunes of the late nineteenth century’s imperial powers depended on a single raw material—rubber—with only one source: the Amazon basin. This scenario ignited a decades-long conflict that found Britain, France, Belgium, and the United States fighting with and against the new nations of Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil for the forest’s riches. In the midst of this struggle, the Brazilian author and geographer Euclides da Cunha led a survey expedition to the farthest reaches of the river. The Scramble for th...
